Darfur, Nothing's Changed!
This was emailed to me recently and I'm thinking our readers and viewers could use this.
Dear Editors and Bloggers:
A new film is in theaters this weekend that seeks to re- energize conversation and call attention to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Darfur, Sudan.
Produced by Don Cheadle (who is also featured along with George Clooney), “Darfur Now” is a story of hope in the midst of one of humanity's darkest hours – a call to action for people everywhere to end the catastrophe unfolding in Darfur. It chronicles the struggles and achievements of six different individuals in Darfur and around the world who are trying to bring an end to the crisis, showing that the actions of one person can make a difference to millions.
This issue was brought to Don Cheadle’s attention 3 years ago by Sam Brownback (R-Kan). Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton are supporting the campaign with PSAs and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is featured in the film.
Newsweek: Darfur Now could be "the next "Inconvenient Truth" in the stable of agenda-shaping documentaries."
New York Times: "absorbing" "The movie is a quiet, methodical call to action."
